The Australian International Gravitational Observatory (AIGO) is a research facility located near Gingin, north of Perth in Western Australia. It is part of a worldwide effort to directly detect gravitational waves. Note that these are a major prediction of the general theory of relativity and are not to be confused with gravity waves, a phenomenon studied in fluid mechanics.

| - The Australian International Gravitational Observatory (AIGO) is a research facility located near Gingin, north of Perth in Western Australia. It is part of a worldwide effort to directly detect gravitational waves. Note that these are a major prediction of the general theory of relativity and are not to be confused with gravity waves, a phenomenon studied in fluid mechanics. It is operated by the Australian International Gravitational Research Centre (AIGRC) through the University of Western Australia under the auspices of the Australian Consortium for Interferometric Gravitational Astronomy (ACIGA). The current aim of the facility is to develop advanced techniques for improving the sensitivity of interferometric gravitational wave detectors such as LIGO and VIRGO. A study of operational interferometric gravitational wave detectors shows that AIGO is situated in almost the ideal location to complement existing detectors in the Northern hemisphere. (en)

Dans le but d'augmenter la longueur de ces bras, on utilise deux cavités de type Fabry-Perot dans chaque bras. L’observation des ondes gravitationnelles est destinée à compléter de manière importante l’observation des ondes électromagnétiques (ondes lumineuses, radio et micro-ondes, rayons gamma et X) ainsi que des astro-particules (rayons cosmiques, neutrinos). Leur étude permet de révéler des aspects de l’univers jusqu’alors inconnus et d’étendre le domaine d’observation jusque dans les régions assombries par la poussière et masquées par d’autres phénomènes.
